AUTHOR TANYA R. TAYLOR RELEASES THE HAUNTING OF MERCI HOSPITAL

My article about bestselling Bahamian author Tanya R. Taylor’s release of her 16th book “The Haunting of Merci Hospital” appears in The Tribune’s Weekend edition of Friday, May 5, 2017. Their heading: “The haunting continues - Demand increases for Bahamian author’s novels.” The Punch also ran my slightly shorter piece on Thursday, April 27, 2017, on their Entertainment Page under the title “Author Taylor’s books are in high demand”.

Tanya has a large following worldwide, with many fans preordering her books well in advance of publication.

And the Bahamian public is quickly becoming more aware of Tanya’s success as an author. With the increasing demand to be able to buy her books locally, copies of her book “Ten Minutes before Sleeping”, which was a #1 Hot New Release and made Amazon’s top 100 in several categories, are now available in Logos Bookstore, Harbour Bay Shopping Plaza.

You can see all of Tanya’s books on her Amazon author page at Author Tanya R. Taylor

Tanya’s next release on June 6, 2017, will be “We See No Evil (The Cornelius Saga Book 4)” - We See No Evil

MINIMAL DAMAGE TO SOUTHERN BAHAMAS IN HURRICANE MATTHEW

“The Tribune”, Nassau, Bahamas, reported in its “Hurricane Special Edition” Friday, October 7^th, 2016, about the southern Bahamas: “ – the eye of Matthew missed most of those islands, causing minimal damage to them.” 

This was a relief. Long Island, where Erskine was born and brought up, is located in the southern Bahamas, and it was badly hit by Hurricane Joaquin a year ago.

"LOVE AT SUNSET" IN "THE TRIBUNE"!

(To read, right click and open in new window)

“The Tribune”, Nassau, Bahamas, gave my new novel "Love at Sunset" a lovely spread in their Weekend edition May 6, 2016!

Set in The Bahamas and Scotland, this gripping romantic suspense shows the determination of an elderly couple in love for the second time around to enjoy their sunset years to the fullest, despite opposition from their children and others. The plot follows the people in Violet and Gordon’s lives, including those out to harm them. It portrays family discord, reconciliation and unexpected romance. And it reveals the gap between rich and poor and the humanitarian works of those who care.

“Love at Sunset” is available on Amazon.com as an e-book and in paperback at Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk as well as at other Amazon online retail stores around the world.

The novel can also be ordered locally in The Bahamas through "Buy the Book", Saunders Beach, Nassau. And for those of you who don't have a Kindle, the free Kindle app can be downloaded from Amazon.com.

JOURNALISM OF YESTERYEAR

Driving past “The Tribune” newspaper in Nassau, Bahamas, this morning, and noticing the car park empty reminded me of what it was like in years gone by.

When I arrived in Nassau in 1965, while attempting to travel around the world, I took a bus to the “Manpower Agency” in Oakesfield, to look for secretarial work. They sent me out on “temp” jobs. The most interesting was when I filled in as secretary for the publisher/editor of “The Tribune” at the time, Sir Etienne Dupuch. His secretary was apparently travelling in Europe.

Sir Etienne also travelled abroad while I worked for him. I remember receiving long yellow sheets of paper from him, with prolific editorials for me to type up.

The car park would never have been empty on a Saturday in those days! I don’t think Sir Etienne would have approved of The Tribune only being published five days a week. However, life in general was less stressful at that time, not like nowadays when journalists definitely need a break from deadlines!

I think Sir Etienne would have been proud of me, publishing my book of romantic short stories "Sunbeams from the Heart"!
